No tests this summer?

[up'n'under]

How come Scotland aren't playing any tests this summer? I think they are the only major rugby playing nation that has no games scheduled.Can the sru afford it financially to skip a round of games? I know options are limited because of the lions tour but couldn't they at least throw together a test against Fiji
at murrayfield to try and jump over them in the irb rankings?

Who knows?

At least it will provide the players (bar 3) with a break so maybe next year they'll be refreshed and destroy their tired opposition.

Well I can dream

Its an interesting situation but I believe that everyone else has managed to tie up all the decent nations for overseas tours!! Unless Georgia are availible?
